Recipient Hears Again After Diagnosis of Bilateral Meniere’s Disease

For information about the Cochlear™ Nucleus® Implant System visit: http://bit.ly/2tjpXCx If you have hearing loss in both ears and find yourself struggling with your hearing aids, there may come a time when you need something more. To improve your hearing performance and help you understand conversations more clearly, you might need to consider a solution that helps you hear your best with both ears. Mathias B., an automotive engineer and a Cochlear Implant recipient, describes the benefits he receives from the combination of his Cochlear™ Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor in his right ear and ReSound LiNX 3D™ hearing aid in his left ear. In his early 40’s, Mathias recognized he had issues hearing and was diagnosed with sudden onset of bilateral Meniere’s Disease. After his diagnosis, he was fitted with hearing aids, but realized that hearing aids alone were only amplifying or making the volume louder and he was still struggling with sound clarity and speech understanding. For some people, cochlear implantation in both ears can be the best way to optimize hearing.* For others, like Mathias, a cochlear implant in one ear and continued use of a hearing aid in the other can provide an enhanced hearing performance**. This combination is referred to as bimodal hearing. Now, with his Cochlear Implant and ReSound hearing aid, Mathias can participate in life as he did before. He can enjoy a date with his wife at a noisy brewery or a conversation with his daughter. Daily listening at work is no longer as taxing and he no longer feels the limitations he did before. This is known as bilateral implantation. Your Hearing Implant Specialist will advise the best solution for you. **Sammeth CA, Bundy MBM, D. A.
